The COVID pandemic has changed everyone’s lives: Remišová is disappointed! Politicians have preferred their own profit – Topky.sk

However, according to Remišová, the global pandemic also brought many divisions to society. “Even in rich countries where they have virtually no social unrest, such as Luxembourg, people are protesting against the measures and the issue of vaccination is extremely divisive.” she said for Topka.

He has never debated vaccinations as he does today

For the last 40 years, the Deputy Prime Minister has not remembered that there have been such passionate discussions about vaccination as they are today. “Children have mandatory 10 vaccinations, in Slovakia more than 10 years ago Smer and Hlas politicians have introduced mandatory vaccinations against influenza and other infectious diseases for seniors in retirement homes and for some high school students. And no one has spoken out against it,” explains Remišová.

Social networks have become a valve of hatred

Even today, collective immunity can mitigate the effects on the economy, businesses, tradesmen and hospitals, as has been the case with other diseases. “We will have to learn to live with the crown, which is why it is important that we are cohesive, that we all try to mitigate the effects, that we are kind to each other. Social networks have become a valve of hatred, where individual groups destroy and humiliate each other. hatred suits opposition politicians, it deliberately feeds it, but it is devastating for society. ” he thinks.

Life has changed from day to day

According to Remišová, the pandemic was a signal that even the developed world is not immune to catastrophes of this magnitude. “An estimated 17 million people have died in the world as a result of the pandemic, which is a huge number. And no country has been saved from it, not even high-health countries such as Switzerland or Germany.” Remišová pointed out.

For people around the world, it was a reminder that the achievements of civilization were extremely fragile. “Travel has been practically day-to-day, borders have closed in some countries, and in New Zealand, for example, their own citizens have not been able to return to their homeland. happiness had to be sought in oneself and in one’s immediate family, “ states the minister.

However, not everyone managed it. “A global pandemic is also a huge burden on personal well-being and quality of life. At home, we have started living so-called micro-adventures – small experiences such as a night walk in the woods and watching the night sky, roasting bacon by the fire, moments of well-being and happiness.” stated.

Christmas with COVID was sad

Remišová experienced past coronavirus holidays. “I was afraid I would infect the children and my husband and I was locked up in one room all the holidays and I heard the children chirping from below. It was a very sad Christmas because I was very happy to be together during the holidays, without a phone call. “without the hustle and bustle of work. It didn’t work out, the children brought me tea and cabbage to the door of my room and we talked through the door,” described by Remišová.

“No one but me in the household got sick, at least this was a reward for loneliness. The most difficult thing during these two years was the restrictions on social and family contacts precisely because of the measures.” she said that the pandemic deepened her gratitude for every single day and for things that one sometimes takes for granted – health, family well-being, that she succeeded in things that make sense and can help Slovakia.

It was disappointing that some politicians preferred their own political gain

It was disappointing for Remišová that even in a difficult situation such as a global health pandemic, some politicians would prefer their own political gain and their percentages to protecting people’s lives. “They literally send them to their deaths with their statements. They know very well what is right, their hypocrisy is all the more shameful. Overall, during the pandemic, it turned out which politicians in Slovakia think really well of the people.” stated.

“Slovakia is going through a crisis it has never experienced before and I very much lack the commitment and sense of cooperation with the opposition, but also with some coalition politicians. solutions for Slovakia to cope with the crisis, ” the minister added.
